Dhaniya Powder

Dhaniya powder, known in English as coriander powder and as thaniya or malli powder in Tamil, is made by grinding dried coriander seeds. It has a mild, citrusy and slightly nutty flavour and a light brown colour, and it is one of the basic masalas in every Indian kitchen. Dhaniya powder goes into almost every curry, dal, sabzi and gravy, usually together with haldi, red chilli and jeera powder. It helps thicken and add body to gravies, and it is used in marinades for paneer, chicken and fish, in chutneys, chaat, raita and in dry vegetable dishes like aloo and bhindi. Add it with the other powdered masalas and cook briefly in oil so it loses its raw taste. This dhaniya powder is supplied by farmer producer companies and spice makers listed on the page. Store in a dry, airtight container to keep the aroma. Available in 12 g, 50 g, 100 g, 200 g, 250 g and 500 g packs.
